Mirth in Court By Statements "London. --Mr. Justice Swiit in the ing's Bench Division heard a breach f promise action in which it was 'stated that there were about 33,000 words in the letters written to a ng woman by a young man. "Somebody has been engaged on a esonte task," was Mr. Justice Eire comment on hearing this. . The girl was Miss Wilhelmina Tre- Besiner, ager 22, a milliner, of Briar- dale, Shirehall-lane, Hendon, N.W. She sued Mr. Adolph William Hart, ed 2], of Golders Green road, Iders Green, N.W., who is employ- ed.by a firm of musical instrument manufacturers. Ie © Mr. J. N. Emery (for Miss Frebess, jner) said Mr. Haft did not deny promising to marry Miss Trebesiner Brtore he was 21, but disputed that the promise had been renewed after he had reached that age. Met at Dance ~ Miss Trebesiner and Mr. Hart first net at a dance early in 1926 and let- fers since then showed that Miss rebesiner was accepted by 'Mr. Hart's relatives and friends as his future wife. "In August 1926 Mr. Hart wrote %] am longing for two years to pass quickly, then after' 'one year's en- gement we will. get married. I ill love you for ever." Another letter from Mr. Hart end- with "all my burning love and isses." . Mr. Emery said that Mr. Hart had ritten no letters to. Miss Trebesiner fter he was 21, but after a visit ¢o the pictures he told her that he would marry her soon. 7 Miss Trebesiner, who has fair bob- Bed hair, stated inV evidence that phen Mr Hart was 21 on September 25 'last year she gave him a gold Wrist watch, He gave her a present hen she was 21 and Mrs Hart gave r a bréakfast service saying, "That vill do for your bottom drawer when you marry Adolph", "Mr. J. C. Maude (for Mr. Hart): Po you know that there are about 000 words in the letters he has itten to you? ¥ Mr. Justice Swift: Somebody has én engaged on a gruesome task. Laughter.) Miss Trebesiner said that on Octo- ber 5 last year there was. a meeting in the Green Park and Mr. Hart told her that he had been thinking that it would be for their mutual benefit if -they:did .not get married.

When a bad- tempered woman becomes. engaged e suffers more than a good-tem- ered woman when the engagement i8_ broken, because she is mot likely: fo find another husband. (Laughter.)

Uavanter). { Mr, Maude: Did not Mr.- Hart eamplain of you making eyes at other young men?--He did a long time ago. He was very jealous. "Mr. Justice Swift: This seems to ve heen a very. ordinary sort of courtship. (Laughter.) "Miss Trebesiner said that Mr. Hart talked of marriage practically svery day. Mr. Justice Swift: He would rob- ably say, using:the language o the dern lover--"Now, old bean, I am we will soon be married. "(Laugh- r. x : EN. Maude: Did Mr. Hart's aunt tell you that if you had not been so severe and allowed him to see his Boy friends the engagement would t have been brokn off? = : "Mr. Justice Hart stated in evi- nce that he was employed by a of musical instrument manufac- turers and was earning $11 a week. "There were frequent quarrels be- ween himself and Miss Trebesiner, pany caused by Miss Trebesiner's jealous and sus icious nature. "Mr. Maude: Were you happy when in holiday together at Torquay ?-- irly happy, naturally. We were holiday. Br. day, added that they quarrel- ed a good deal during the second k of their holiday. The quarrels never really healed. ; 'Mr. Hart, describing a meeting on a London omnibus, said: "She sat beside me and I gave her an Hectionate pect (Laughiter.) Mr. Justice Swift: Can you kiss a girl on top of a bus?<Yes. "Cross-examined by Mr. Emery for Miss Trebesiner, Mr. Hart said that fe did not kiss Miss Trebesiner af- ter that quarrel during the second week of their holiday at Torquay. They came back to London on his not cle. Mr. Justice Swift: There must have heen some stops on the way to London. Didn't you "Kiss her then ?--No. 2 Just imagine coming all the way from Torquay by road and not kiss- ine the girl to whom you are en- ged! Ra wonder she 'was crossl htee.) #0 x ax prow Mr. Justice Swift remarked: There are degrees of Jove, Some, i eople are very ardent and ; An er of. A holiday is a very soling thing. ; Hart was questioned by Mr. strate the musical' instruments ?- 1 Yes, sometimes, Mr, Justice better off than Toronto.-- Admitting freely that one goes into the woods to do some- thing different' from what one does at home the fest of the year, I have found that those who have experi-, mented with holiday reading like it. 1 also admit 'that neglecting a book on a sunny afternoon may be pleas- anter than reading it, Even'the fact that you have promised yourself that your promise, may. be a keen source of pleasure, But there comes a time, in every sort of outdoor holiday, when a book is a treasure beyond price. The pity is that these are the hours for which least provision is generally made, and when you think you want to read, no suitable book is at hand. If in% telligent provision be made before- hand, as with seoldng utensils, blan- kets: and" fishing tackle, keen relish may be added to many an otherwise dull hour. Besides, the book is a refuge from music in neighboring cottages, and even from companinos who are usually but not always de- sirable. . ' . For the canoe trip, where space and weight are of prime importance, I would suggest the classics only, and in compact or abridged editions: Do. not take many books in a canoe; the single volume of Boswell's "Life of Johnson". would be an _excellent choice. Or, if you want variety, take half a dozen of Shakespeare's plays in some cheap edition. - I pick heavy stuff for the canoe because you will find you cannot stand anything else. You will not probably read for more than half an hour a day. It may be while enjoying the post-prandial pipe on the bank at noon, or after supper before turning in. Concentrated food will go best; you really won't bother with any other sort. There is some- thing, teo, in the surroundings to create a' mental vacuum, conducive to solid 'reading. The woods vitalize the body, let down nervous tensions and cure the mind by putting it to sleep. A man drifting along 'in a canoe, sleeping on the ground, with no responsibilities, is as near a state of nature as he will ever get. There ought to be a drag anchor on the process. And the mind, purged for twenty-three and a half hours a day of every thought, will seize on méaty printed" matter and digest it with a singular relish, In such circum stances, it is possible to read and like and remember even the writings of a man like John Donne. The 'atmosphere of the summer cottage or permanent camp' is quite different. One is by no means So cut adrift from civilized habits. There are many more vacant hours to "put in", and there is much more to get away from via the hammock, or the quiet end of the verandah, or the boathouse wharf. There are more eople; and more varied tastes to onsider. It is at the cottage that the want of satisfactory reading mat- ter is most annoying. Here there should be a sprinkling of the best and most popular cur- rent books of both fiction and non- fiction. This is the place to read Sabatini's latest, and "Henry VIIL™* around the fireplace, when cards are really too much of a bore. And vis- itors will find they can bring noth- ing more acceptable to their hostess of the week-end than "something to read"'--something like "This Side. of Jordan," or "Into the Abyss," that everybody has just been wanting to read. A book will give pleasure to all inhabitants for a long time. _ Small permanent libraries are wise but as 'yet infrequent additions to cottage equipment, It is a small mat- ter to collect 40 or 50 books to be left there in the fall, and added to from time to time. Nor will it cost to be as miscellaneous as possible-- to take care of all tastes moods. Therefore it will have a good proportion of more or less standard titles, chosen from "Everyman's," "The Travellers' Library" and "The Modern Library". These are inex- are small enough to slip into the pocket, and handy to read lying down Then, few people yet know that the best-sellers of last season can now be had at $1 in editions that copy in all respects the make-up of the like "Count Luckner," G. B. Stern's "Thunderstorm," ard Edna Ferber's "Show Boat." They are printed from the same set of plates, and only careful examination reveals that the paper is of .a cheaper grade; . It is perfect nonsense to suppose that people prefer more books on vacation than when at home, Their tastes do not change city plumbing. The lady who pro- something "light" never reads any- thing else at 20 below zero. Any change of heart will be the other way. The leisure and quiet of va- enjoy more substantial books than does the rush of work-a-day life. Anyone who has tried it out realizes that. As you have a kiddish desire to push a boat through wild rice to discover the half-hidden mouth of a creek' (at least I hope you have such a desire), push your mind around a bit, not enough to tire it, but enough to get in a private discovery or two. and estuaries that you have: nev. entered. Why not? a bit. Adventure, personal and private ad- venture, awaits = you, even on the main highways. What matter if many have travelled that 'way be- fore? To you it is unknown coun- try.

He was one day per- planchette, and: he was surprised 'when a psychic gentleman named "Akron" told him to buy pencils and water colours and start to draw. Mr. Atkinson obeyed "Akron." . Mr. Atkinson, sceptical and shak- ing: with laughter, took a piece of paper and a pencil: He was astoun- ded to find that in a few minutes he had drawr an exquisite design, and taking a crayon, ' the unseen * power colored it superbly. Placing Fhis pencil 'on the paper he found he had captionéd it "Venetian Boat, Eleventh Century." Celebrated artists have praised Mr. Atkinson's work. They have express- ed their astonishment at the intri- the drawing curves. Mr. Atkinson, diffident and apolo- gising for the wonder he terms a "freak," sat down in the Daily Ex- press office with a pencil and paper. He. chatted amicably with a Daily Express. representative, frequently removing : his 'eyes from the paper for minntes.on end. His hand writh- ed and jumped. Then it began to trace on the paper. Designing and Titles "The weight on my hand is ter- rible," he said rather ashamedly. "Sometimes. the pencil will be driven clean through the paper. Wonderful designs 'come out, and then they are captioned with titles that fit them ex- cellently, but referring to matters about which I have not the slightest knowledge. . I will, for example, draw certain examples of early Moravian pottery which experts say are superb copies. And I know nothing what- ever about -early Moravian pottery." Mr. Atkinson's hand stopped. The paper was covered with an exquisite drawing. It had taken but five min- utes to draw, but the. picture sugges- ted that hours had been taken to com- plete it. Mr, Askidson put his pencil on the paper. 'There was a sudden jolt, a tremor ran through his wrist, and he had captioned it in strange scrawling letters, "A Persian lady's headdress." etic Mr. Atkinson was as astounded as : 8 "This psychic 'drawing is no new departure," said a prominent spirit- Sahst to the Daily Express, "but the finish of the -drawings 'you describe seems to suggest that Mr. Atkinson has become acquainted with some artist of olden times." 1929 Fall "Fair Dates fairs the comi- by: J. ie Wil- Department. of Agriculture Dates of the Ontario ing season are an! son of the Ontario 4; EM SRERELSRLERE LR £g: i {Rs ¥ i FERe § : PRT =o EIRY HH SRB.
